My first choice, we probably split a lot of votes or it would have been higher. Better than mine, I like the kind of sepia tone. Watch out for Irma.

This was my 3rd place vote. I really liked the image - thought it should have been higher.

You have company.I wondered if I'd see this here. Quite a shot, but one I've seen now so many times. Maybe a little earthly foreground?

Lovely photo. Well taken. The corona has a strange 'wallpaperish' texture to it.

YES well done, in my top five!

I'm glad you're one of the lucky ones to witness this year's total eclipse. Not your ordinary lowlight shot.

Incredible shot. I saw this yearís eclipse as yet another amazing revelation of Godís majesty as our Creator.

Thanks Robert, fc, and ysal.Up until totality, I was shooting with my solar filter in place. I could not see the total eclipse with the filter in place, and had to quickly remove it for this shot. I continued to shoot "naked" and then the sun peeked out the other side, which caught a dazzling display of light. I had about 2 and a half minutes of totality, which was worth every minute of the 7 hours round trip that I drove to see this spectacle.
